New Del Rio, Tx Investor
My name is Richard Heshmaty and I am originally from Fresno, CA, but I moved to Del Rio, TX when the Air Force told me to. I served for six years as a Security Forces member. I decided to stay in this area when I separated from the Air Force, because my wife is from here, but also because real estate is really affordable. I have been a member of BiggerPockets for a few years, but never posted an introduction. I have completed one rehab, but it wasn't a quick fix-and-flip. My wife and I lived in the home for two years while rehabbing. The mortgage payments were really inexpensive and it allowed us to complete repairs when we had the time since I was still active duty and my wife is a registered nurse in the local emergency room. I recently acquired my Texas real estate license and plan to use any income I make to put into possible deals. I look forward to connecting with the BiggerPockets community. Thanks for taking the time to read my introduction!
